"Life forms. You precious little lifeforms. You tiny little lifeforms. Where are you?"

Lt. Cmdr Data, Star Trek: Generations

  • QuillOS: Alpine-based Linux distribution optimised for Kobo e-readers

    跳过

  • Honestly, I’ve been tempted by a Kobo lately; I have a lot of Star Trek RPG and comic book PDFs/ePUBs that I got through Humble Bundle over the past couple years.

    Kobo seems like the least horrible brand I can get for a reasonable price with a reasonable screen quality; as pleasantly simple and reliable as they seem, and as nice as electronics re-use is, I’m not sure that one Sony e-reader that’s as old as my younger sibling fulfills my use case.

    Though honestly, if you have other recommendations for a Linux-friendly color e-reader, I’d be glad to hear them.

  • Debusine Repositories Enter Beta: Ubuntu PPA-Like User Archives For Debian Linux

    跳过

  • Honestly, I have mixed feelings about this.

    I’m very squeamish about adding more than the bare minimum external repos, though less so about extrepo stuff. I’m honestly worried this is just going to make it very easy for people to find new ways to break their systems; then again, that may be less likely to happen for the user demographic of Debian, and in the end, that’s no reason not to add a feature this convenient.

  • https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianNet

    It’s an official Debian address, and the main page redirects to .org. I think it has more broad use now, but I think it’s often been used for stuff like media codecs they can’t include in the main distro. Often used for side projects.

  • What GPU model is it? And what distro are you using?

    Did you install separate AMD drivers? You’re generally not supposed to do that; it’s just plug-and-play in the kernel and MESA (assuming the version is new enough), and you usually don’t need to download separate drivers.

    Also, what kernel flags did you have to use?

    It’s just that I’m a bit skeptical any of this is actually the fault of the AMD Linux kernel driver, and I would guess there’s some underlying software or hardware issue like a faulty ACPI implementation on the motherboard. I’m not saying AMD can do no wrong, but in this case, making blanket statements about the quality of AMD GPU drivers may be premature.

  • As others have said, “stable” and “unstable” have a different connotation in the FOSS world.

    Rolling releases probably don’t have more software crashes than their stable counterparts, which is what you meant.

    However, some use cases prefer that they are able to use the same config for a long time, and when software updates frequently, system administration can become a cat-and-mouse game of “What config broke this time?” That’s not to say rolling release is bad, but sometimes it’s like using a power drill instead of a screw driver.

    Also, I definitely feel like a stable distro is more likely to survive a software update after not using the computer for a few months to a year. Granted, I’ve had a Debian Testing (rolling release) install that did survive an upgrade after a year of non-use, but I’ve also seen Arch VMs that broke after just a couple months of non-use, forcing me to reinstall.

  • Heck, if random Ensign Jo is at the helm and waits for the right moment, they could probably warp the ship into a star before anyone can realize what’s going on.

    Though I think one probably one of the most potentially deadly characters in the franchise by sheer skill might be D’Vana Tendi, considering how she went through all those Romulan guards in Veritas, her ability to take over a ship, her ability to switch between an completely unintimidating and absolutely terrifying demeanor, etcetera.

  • USB Wi-Fi adapters are usually fine. I do have a PCI-E Wi-Fi card in my desktop from my Hackintosh days, though, which has gone unused since my home now has lots of ethernet connections.

  • Fat chance of convincing them to switch to Linux

    跳过

  • It's not the concept of updating that's the problem; it's that Windows's process gets in the way of your work and doesn't make its status clear. You can be stuck on 90% for thirty minutes, and all you can do is wait with fingers crosses.

    When updating on Linux, it's usually dead clear what it's updating and very forthcoming about any errors that have come up. Also, I can usually still at least check my e-mail while updating my Linux packages, if not most of what I usually do, and just restart when it's convenient.

  • As someone who works at a help desk, the main "blue screen" I see these days is the computer asking for a Bitlocker key after an update, upon which I have to direct them through their Microsoft account.

    I've also seen my fair share of crapped out installs that just needed a reinstall, as well as the occasional issue with Realtek 8852.

  • Why did you move from Windows to Linux?

    跳过

  • I used Linux in a VM and WSL for several years, and I occasionally used it on an old laptop. It was in 2022 on the week I installed Cygwin that I thought, “I do more Linux stuff than Windows stuff. Why don’t I just straight up use Linux?”

    I created a test install on a secondary drive, which has now been my main install for years and has been moved to a bigger drive twice.

    I got very used to Linux, and Windows gave me no reason to come back.

  • for file in *.WAV; do ffmpeg -i “$file” -i cover.png -disposition:v attached_art “$(basename “$file” .wav).flac”

    (I’m doing this from memory, so I may have messed something up, but that’s the gist of it for taking a bunch of WAV files and turning them into FLACs with cover art. I also do a similar setup for combining the metadata of an MP3 and audio data of a WAV, since They Might Be Giants seems to have forgotten FLAC was invented.)

  • Don’t forget: Star Trek V did knock off Mos Eisley first.

    At least they did it better than Star Trek III’s excuse for seedy space bar with a couple arcade machines, relatively well-clothed women (relative to Quark’s or the weird cat lady in V, at least), and lots of Starfleet officers ready to report anything shady going on.

    Overall, the occasional campy imitation of Star Wars locations is a time-honored Trek.

    Now, when Star Wars starts looking like Star Trek, it’s usually horrible. Take The Acolyte for instance; you could already tell the show wasn’t great by its crappy set design. This is supposed to be a seedy cargo ship, but it’s so clean that you’d think you’re on a Federation starship. This lack of attention to detail foreshadows the show’s further failures that lead to me giving up 2 or 3 episodes in.

    Also, the Vaalians have distinct cheek patterns, which the family lacks.

  • Flatpak Pre-Installation Approaches

  • From what I can tell, you wouldn't use it instead of Ansible or another automation system, but rather just support for a config file you can plot in to make setting up automation with any automation system easier by allowing you to put it into a file rather than a gigantic Flatpak install command.
